Phil Regan, 59, from Derbyshire, was one of the millions of people missing out on an estimated £19billion in unclaimed benefits
A man was left astounded after discovering he qualifies for an extra £500 a month after a 10-minute check. Phil Regan, 59, from Derbyshire, was one of the millions of people missing out on an estimated £19billion in unclaimed benefits.
He told The Mirror: "It’s made life more bearable. Now we can put another £30 on the gas or electric if we are cold, whereas before we couldn’t do that and just had to put another jumper on. His benefits entitlement was later reassessed and he was told he could claim just £44 a week. Phil then turned to payday loans to survive but the borrowing resulted in him owing £14,000 worth of debt. Then in 2011, Phil received a letter from the DWP saying they had miscalculated his benefits and that he should have been receiving £88 per week.
Speaking about his experience using the benefits calculator, Phil said: "You just put in your details, and it comes up with the information you need. I think everyone should know about the benefits calculator as it will give you a heads-up about what you are entitled to."
